Question

I have such code:

function allValid() {
    $('input').each(function(index) {
        if(something) {
            return false; 
        }    
    });

    return true;
}

which always returns true as return false; affects anonymous inner function. Is there an easy way to call outer function’s return?

PS. I am not looking for a workaround, just want to know the answer to original question. If the answer is “not possible” it is fine.

Answer 1

Yeah, store it in a local variable.

function allValid() {
  var allGood = true;
  $('input').each(function (index) {
    if (something) {
      allGood = false;
    }
  });

  return allGood;
}
